Matia Bazar is an iconic Italian pop band that originated in Genoa in 1975, blending elements of pop, rock, and Italian and international new wave. The original lineup included Piero Cassano, Aldo Stellita, Carlo Marrale, Giancarlo Golzi, and the charismatic lead singer Antonella Ruggiero, whose distinctive voice played a crucial role in defining the band's sound. They gained international renown with hits like "Ti Sento," captivating audiences with their melodic tunes and sophisticated lyrics.

Over the years, Matia Bazar has seen several changes in its lineup, with Ruggiero leaving the band in 1989 to pursue a solo career and other members coming and going. Despite these changes, the band has continued to release albums and perform, maintaining their popularity in Italy and abroad. Their music has evolved, but they've stayed true to their innovative roots that mix electronic music with traditional Italian pop elements. Celebrating their 40th anniversary with a live album showcases not only their longevity but also their ability to keep their music fresh and relevant. Matia Bazar remains a beloved act, known for their contributions to the Italian music scene and their enduring influence on pop music.
